Question

I am trying to build a function in PHP that, depending on the date will give me

The current week (mon-sun) 20/8/12 to 26/8/12

Following week+1 (mon-sun) 27/8/12 to 02/9/12

Following week+2 (mon-sun) 03/9/12 to 09/9/12

Following week+3 (mon-sun)

Following week+4 (mon-sun)

Following week+5 (mon-sun)

I have tried using the following, but is there anything cleaner??

$week0_mon = date("Y-m-d", strtotime(date("Y").'W'.date('W')."1"));
$week0_sun = date("Y-m-d", strtotime(date("Y").'W'.date('W')."7"));

$week1_mon = date("Y-m-d", strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($week0_mon)) . " +1 week"));
$week1_sun = date("Y-m-d", strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($week0_sun)) . " +1 week"));

echo $week0_mon.' to '.$week0_sun.'<br />';
echo $week1_mon.' to '.$week1_sun.'<br />';

Answer 1

I did it like this. I’m not sure if it is exactly what you want.

function plus_week($addWeek){
    $date = date("d.m.Y",time());
    $newdate = strtotime ( '+'.$addWeek.' week' , strtotime ( $date ) ) ;
    $newdate = date ( 'd/m/y' , $newdate );
    return $newdate;
}

for($i = 1; $i < 7; $i++){
    echo "Following week+".$i." ".plus_week($i)." to ".plus_week($i+1)."<br/>";
}

From this you will get answer like this:

Following week+1 29/08/12 to 05/09/12

Following week+2 05/09/12 to 12/09/12

Following week+3 12/09/12 to 19/09/12

Following week+4 19/09/12 to 26/09/12

Following week+5 26/09/12 to 03/10/12

Following week+6 03/10/12 to 10/10/12
